After some further thought it was probably not the same problem we saw.
The oops I ran into is most common on highly loaded system (or ones
using sqlite on non-local disk). This was a bit surprising given the
scale of activity recently until I checked the access logs and found
googlebots happily indexing arbitrary sourcefiles, changesets, and
subversion logs. After telling those to stay away from that part of the
site I think this should be under control.

Then I found a completely different problem with the goban macro, which
is more likely what Alain ran into. That has also been fixed now.

Please report any further problems.
